Open Educational Resources: Textbooks and Beyond
Open Educational Resources (OER) are public or openly licensed educational materials for teaching and learning that anyone may freely retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. From textbooks to assignments to entire courses, OER offer students and instructors new and familiar ways to interact with and contribute to scholarship without the costs or copyright restrictions of traditional materials. This University Libraries session will demonstrate how you can identify no-cost options that allow for instructional flexibility and student success.

Open Educational Resources: Creative Commons in the Classroom
As classes and conferences increasingly take place online and course materials become digital, copyright considerations can be difficult to navigate. This University Libraries workshop will explore Creative Commons licenses, a more permissive licensing structure that allows instructors to add media directly to Canvas, instructional materials, and their scholarship without worrying about copyright. You may be used to seeing CC icons online on photos, videos, infographics, even textbook chapters and scholarly articles—but what exactly do they mean? We will identify resources where you can find a wealth of media content and Open Educational Resources to augment your instruction and scholarship.

Your Article, Your Manuscript, Your Options: How to Make the Most of Your Accepted Manuscript
Have you published journal articles in the past? Are you working towards your first publication? One often-ignored step in the process is the Author's Accepted Manuscript—the peer-reviewed, preprint version of your article. This University Libraries session will explore what an AAM is, what freedoms it gives authors, and how you can use your AAM to drive additional engagement and citations with your final publication.
